The Medjay (mj3,) speaks to the name antiquated Egypt provided for a locale in northern Sudan where an old people of Nubia occupied. They turned out to be a piece of the Egyptian military as scouts and minor specialists.

Amid the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, "Medjay" no longer alluded to the region of Medja however to a tribe or family of individuals. It is not comprehended what happened to the locale, but rather, after the First Intermediate Period of Egypt, it and different regions in Nubia were no longer said in the composed record. Written records detail the Medjay as migrant leave individuals. After some time, they were joined into the Egyptian armed force.
